Writer Webs

In January, I have an ad running in Romance Writer's Report.

Based on the simple and elegant design of the ad, I decided to redesign the Writer Webs website at http://www.writerwebs.com/

While I loved the old design, it wasn't geared at being a straightforward web design studio like the new design is.

I also launched the new pricing structure to make it easy for any author - published or yet-to-be - to get a quality, custom website.

There's been a lot of discussion in the literary agency channels about the importance of a website to a writer's presentation.

The most important investment you can make to promote your work (to readers, publishers, and agents!) is to have a clean, professional, and stylish website that puts the focus on your writing!

I invite you to take a look at the new site, my portfolio, and the new pricing structure. If you've been thinking about getting a website to promote your writing career, this is a great time to do it! I expect to get very busy in January, so feel free to contact me - even if you're just in the decision making process - and I will try to save a spot for you in my queue!

The new Writer Webs Pricing Structure (full service, customized solutions, exclusively for authors!)

PROLOGUE PACKAGE - $9.95 per month + $85 initial design fee (save $75)
SHORT STORY PACKAGE - $19.95 per month + $200 initial design fee (save $175)
NOVEL PACKAGE - $29.95 per month + $350 initial design fee (save $275)

The Novel Package is by far my most popular - it includes everything you need to market your writing and much more, for less than the cost of most design companies.

As always, I encourage you to check my portfolio and even contact my clients if you want a first-hand non-biased account of the quality of work and communication I offer. There's a handful of author-specific site designers, and not all of them are a good investment! My hope with this new pricing plan is to offer exceptional quality for a highly affordable price.

Things are moving forward with bringing ReaderWebs - a readers community online. I've been trying to take a look at other communities that focus entirely on readers, and there doesn't appear to be many at all. That surprises me!

So, now, I see it as even more of an opportunity to bring like-minded individuals together for intelligent discussion and activities that revolve around the readers, not the authors! ;)

With great thanks to my wife for most of the concept, I'm happy to show the new Reader Webs logo:

In addition to launching Reader Webs very soon, I plan on adjusting the prices on Writer Webs to accomodate a much more broad ranged audience as well as move to a more monthly-centric pricing structure.

I have developed a variety of custom scripts and ways to allow authors to easily update their own content, however, I can only do that if it's hosted on my servers, so look for the new pricing plan soon!

In addition to these exciting developments, I also launched two new sites this week. Both authors gave me surprisingly kind testimonials and seem really happy with their sites!:


Gregory Benford - Nebula Award Winning Science Fiction Author
http://www.gregorybenford.com/
Testimonial: "If you want quick, smart, efficient website building, no one in my experience remotely approached Brandon. He has a sense of style with zest (quite rare) and intelligent appreciation of how audiences differ. You can't go wrong with him."


Gina Ardito - Romantic Comedy Author
http://www.ginaardito.com/
Testimonial: "Thanks to Writer Webs, I have a website that's uniquely mine. Brandon welcomed all my input, provided expert advice, and gave me a finished product beyond my greatest expectations! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to work with Brandon and Writer Webs."






Thanks to both of them! I should have a couple more sites launching this week. This is a good time to sign up if you're an author looking for a quality site! I will be getting very busy around the first of the year.

It's been a busy time at Writer Webs. I've been simultaneously developing about seven different sites, sending specs out and getting them fixed up. Now they're starting to launch, so I should have a large portfolio update to show for it.

Just Launched - http://www.benford-rose.com/ (Dr. Gregory Benford & Dr. Michael R. Rose - to promote their scientific non-fiction essays through Amazon Shorts).

In addition, Dr. Rose is sending me an autographed copy of his most recent book - The Long Tomorrow: How Advances in Evolutionary Biology Can Help Us Postpone Aging (I really enjoy having these mementos from authors I work with).

And also, a wonderful testimonial for Writer Webs:

"In a world where so many promise a lot and deliver little, Brandon Dennis delivered more than I hoped, and sometimes more than I had imagined. It has been a delight to work with a web site designer who combines efficiency and responsiveness in such a seamless manner. Highly recommended!"

I'm happy to have such a successful launch! Over the next week or two, I should launch at least Four other sites, hopefully as smoothly as the Benford & Rose site.

I'm also starting to work on the basic details for ReaderWebs.com - I have some staff lined up, and I look forward to making that a great addition to the list of services that WriterWebs can offer authors. I will be adjusting my prices, but not increasing as much as bringing them all together to a monthly fee structure that can include hosting, statistics, ReaderWebs promotion, and much much more! Stay tuned for more information here.

And, of course, if you're an Author looking for a site - I'm in the process of wrapping many projects up so I should have time to develop some more sites by Christmas. Currently, I've been working quickly with approximately 2-3 week turnaround. If you're interested in more information, please visit my official site at http://www.writerwebs.com/
